How do the price breakdowns work?
When you bring in an item to sell, it is subject to our “15/30/45” price breakdown schedule. This means that after an item is on the floor for 15 days, the price will drop 15% off of the original price…after 30 days on the floor, the item will drop 30% off of the original price… after 45 days on the floor, the item will drop to 45% off the original price. The item will sit at 45% off for 30 days…any items unsold after that time period will then be available for pickup.
What if I have a “High Ticket” item to consign?
Any item on consignment that is priced over $800 is considered a high ticket item and it is NOT subject to the normal “15/30/45” price breakdown. To learn more about our high ticket item sales, stop by the shop or simply give us a call at 970-845-7388. We also have a great eBay program for rare and highly collectible items.
When can I pick up my item if it doesn’t sell?
In the unfortunate circumstance that one or more of your items do not sell, you can pick them up 75-90 days after you dropped them off. The “Pickup Date” on your Item List is 75 days after your drop-off date…you have a 15 day window to pick up your items. On day 91, any items not picked up will expire and become property of Transition Sports.
What if I will be out of town when I am supposed to pick up my unsold items?
If you let us know ahead of time, we can make arrangements for custom pickup dates that will be convenient for all parties involved.
Can I pick up my item early if it hasn’t sold?
No, you cannot pick up any item until we have had at least 75 days to try to sell the item.
I dropped off an item about a year ago…can I pick it up now?
Short answer: No, any items not claimed during the 15 day pickup period will become property of Transition sports.
Long Answer: In certain special circumstances (and if you ask very politely) we may allow you to purchase your items back from us after paying a nominal storage fee. Normal charge is $20/month storage fee…may be a higher rate if the item is very large.
Bottom Line: We DO NOT store any items for free.
When will I get paid for my items that have sold?
We mail out consignment checks on every other Friday. If your account has accrued at least $20.00, then you will have a check automatically mailed to your address.
Short answer: A check should be in your mailbox approximately 4 – 19 days after your item sells
Can I pick up my checks at the store?
Yes, but arrangements must be made ahead of time!!
Where are you located?
We are located at 240 Chapel Place in beautiful Avon, CO 81620. See a map HERE.
Can I get cash for my items when I bring them in?
Most of the items that we take are on a consignment basis only. In certain circumstances, we may offer to buy your items outright. This is normally reserved for new items with tags or items in near perfect condition. Remember, when you ask for cash, we are taking the full risk on selling your used item…you will probably make more on the item if you sell it on consignment.

Can I get any money for my 10 year old skis and snowboards?
Short answer: Not really.
Sorry, the fact is that ski and snowboard technology has changed drastically in the last few years and customers are savvy enough to know about these changes …they are shopping for QUALITY used equipment at fair prices. Most customers are looking for items from the reverse-camber era (The past 5 years)…even if you only used it ONE time, a 10 year old snowboard still has 10 year old technology. If you are unsure how old your items are, please feel free to bring them into the shop… we will take a look at any item that you bring in. There are always exceptions to every rule.
Rule of Thumb: If it’s an item that you would consider buying today, we will probably accept it for consignment.

Yes, we are always looking for quality vintage snowboard pieces.
